Inconsistent pressures or lower than expected pressures can indicate an internal leak or broken seal.
If slippage occurs, it means fluid has sloshed to one side of the transmission case, temporarily draining the transmission pump.

I need to add transmission fluid because of a leak, but will all this happen due to a lack of fluid or am i looking at rebuilding the tranny?
Step 1 Start and run the engine until it reaches operating temperature, which is warm enough for normal driving conditions.

Use a floor jack to lift the front and rear sections of the vehicle and place two jack stands under each side of the frame -- front and rear. Re-splice any defective hose, and use a slot screwdriver to make sure all connection clamps are tight. Connect an adapter hose from a pressure gauge to the pressure port on the transmission. 3) and just where exactly can i pour the tranny fluid to add more (on a 327 engine)?
I'm looking at the assembly manual and the only thing i see is a round dome/cap with four bolts on the corners. Slide under the vehicle and look for any fluid droplets on the poster board. Nearly every problem related to a slipping transmission on a Powerglide will involve low transmission fluid level, or contaminated and/or burnt fluid that has lost its capacity to lubricate and cool.
Check fluid level with car warmed up and running, in neutral.
Refer to your owner's service manual for the location of the pressure port.
Wipe the dipstick clean and reinsert it into the the transmission filler tube.

Go slightly rearward and directly up. Stop the vehicle and put the selector in "Reverse." are you talking about the cap? The location SOCA? Accelerate swiftly and listen for the shifting of the transmission. Make a tight accelerating right or left turn and notice if the transmission disengages temporarily, or if the engine races.
If the small steel cap is still in place - it can be removed easily with a small drift and hammer (note: small) The cap is approx 1" in diameter.
